September Catch-All [OPEN]
Who: Number 6 & YOU
What: Trying out the new fencing gear he got, drawing portraits, casino daydreaming, trying to steal jewelry & more!
When: September 1st for fencing, thru the month for other prompts
Where: All over the ship, see individual prompts
Warnings Potential for violence, alcohol/smoking, will warn for more as necessary
Challenge him to a friendly duel
When the notification comes that he has a package waiting in Sundries, he has no earthly idea what to expect. But, he must say, once he's torn the nautical paper off to find a fencing practice kit inside, he is rather pleased. Well, with one exception. The Epee he's been provided is neither blunted nor is it tipped with plastic the way it should be for safety. It very much seems to be a live and dangerous blade. Admittedly, he's not too sorry to have a functional weapon given the characters around here, but it means he'll have to be especially careful when practicing with it.
He's up on the sports deck making use of one of the empty tennis courts as his makeshift practice arena. In the absence of a tip protector, he's wrapped some gauze and medical tape from the infirmary around the sharp tip in an effort to achieve close to the same effect. That way, when he stabs the wall at the back of the court, it leaves slightly less of a divot.
He puts himself through some familiar drills, re-familiarizing himself with his technique and generally working to improve his stance and remember his form. It's clear just from looking that he's had some experience with this. If only he had a proper partner to fence, alas.
Have your portrait drawn
He doesn't tend to flaunt it often, but Number 6 actually does have a bit of talent for the arts. Perhaps he's not the most creative of minds, but he's rather good at capturing likenesses in portraiture. So, on various days and in various places throughout the ship, such as the dining hall, the sports deck, the library, and even in some of the pubs and bars (or anywhere, your choice), he will sit himself down quietly in the corner with a pad of paper over his knee and a pencil in hand. Anyone who catches his interest may become the new subject of his drawing. For the most part, they are flattering renditions. He doesn't mind if someone wants to observe, he'll simply nod to them and keep scratching with his pencil until he's satisfied.
Once he completes his drawing, he'll approach his subject and hold out the sketch to ask, "Excuse me, I wondered if you might like this?"
Lost in the game
With a cigarette in hand and whiskey in front of him, he sits at one of the blackjack tables idly playing against an invisible dealer. It's hard to tell if he's enjoying himself. He's got a far-off look on his face as he idly scratches the table to request another "hit." Win or lose, he doesn't seem to have much of a reaction. His mind is obviously elsewhere. He's so zoned out, in fact, that on this rare occasion even someone who isn't particularly stealthy might be able to sneak up behind him unawares.
Jewelry shopping
Right. The time has come to investigate that jewelry store. Why is it that no one is allowed to take anything? Of all the places on this ship, why there? He can be found bending over the displays, scrutinizing the various pieces through the glass. There doesn't appear to be any way to get at them. Not any way that doesn't involve a bit of violence, that is. So be it.
He goes, briefly, to the nearest bar and brings back with him one of the bar stools. Raising it over his head, he prepares to bring it down on one of the cases. Little does he know, that won't be enough to shatter it no matter how many times he bashes the glass.
But, he has to try.
Wildcard!

Re: jewelry.
You aren't who I was expecting to show up.
no subject
(with a smile, she grants him a nonchalant shrug.)
'Sides, I couldn't break in those suckers when I tried. So hey, maybe you're able to do somethin' that I can't. I came to watch.
no subject
[Except, now he regrets saying that in case it gives her ideas.]
I don't think there will be much for you to see, alas. This stool looks as if it will break before the glass does.
no subject
no subject
[He gives it one last hard try, and the stool loses a leg in the process.]
For all we know of the Captain's temperament, it very well could be. He could see it as some form of irony.
no subject
(is she serious or toying with him? one could only guess. and can he guess correctly?)
Whaddya say?
no subject
no subject
(she pulls herself up, a stretch, then heads on closer to take a peek at the gems. jinx has seen them before but maybe they get exchange for new ones as time goes on. it wouldn't be too far fetch if it did.)
— Gotta say, it's pretty nice of her to do that even though I'm her less favorite person in the world.
no subject
Has she explicitly told you that you are her least favorite?
no subject
(should jinx be worried? not at all. it's not as if friday would ever harm or kill her. as far as she knows, she's forbidden to do so? or else she would had done so already.)
no subject
[No. He doesn't really believe that... but, he doesn't quite know what Friday is and isn't at liberty to do, himself.]
All the same, I think we can avoid going with the heavy artillery today. I only wanted to see what would happen if one tried to smash the case. I have my answer now.
no subject
We can always look around to find somethin' else we can ka-boom.
no subject
I don't think I'm in the mood for bloodshed just now. But, how are you at games?
no subject
(now extremely excited, jinx skips on over to be at six's side then rock back and forth on her heels.)
So what kind of game, huh? Is there a prize at the end? Oh, oh!! How about the loser gotta be the other's servant for a day...!
no subject
[He's terrified of what she'd ask him to do.]
First, tell me what kind of game is your favorite? I'm skilled at cards, myself.
no subject
(she thinks for a moment.)
There's truth or dare that's pretty fun.
no subject
I was thinking something slightly less, ahem, imperiling. Have you been to the arcade?
no subject
(unless ekko went in there recently and wiped her name clear off to make her be number two and him number one.)
no subject
[Fingers crossed for plan: distract from violence.]
no subject
(because jinx will gladly give up the number one spot if it's for training purposes. but if he isn't good at them then the probability of hitting the first score is pretty low.)
no subject
no subject
(she is pretty much aglow over this!)
okay if we FTB on the actual game playing part?
definitely! i like this very much (i have a mountain of tags rn lol..... :sweats:)
(and she cheerfully guides them off to playback
and they exploded the endwith all the arcades to teach him all the nifty tricks.)
